“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Aaron’s Church has a set of doctrines that are not necessarily in direct theological accord with the United Methodist Church. But the Miracle Deliverance Temple of Christ, Inc. seems to be available to our Wesleyan perception of prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace according to our understanding of God’s total love and involvement with creation. Aaron’s Church speaks specifically to what United Methodists are ready to share as the “means of grace” without excluding other believers who receive the presence of Christ in other ways, His Salvation and Lordship to become members of the Kingdom of God in His saving grace:
• SALVATION
We are saved by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ; who cannot work to earn right standing with God; who must accept Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, who gave His life as payment for our sins. Miracle Deliverance temple of Christ, Inc believe that baptism in water in the name of our Lord is necessary as an act of obedience and an outward sign of an inner change. They believe that it is a church ritual, which should take place after one repents of sin and is born again. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God, which comes to live in believers in God, immediately after accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord.
• THE GODHEAD
We believe that God is one God who manifested Himself to man in three ways; Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We believe that God is one person who reveals Himself to man in three forms. Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. We believe in the deity of Christ and His virgin birth, His death, burial and resurrection and that He will return a second time for His church.
• THE BASIS OF OUR FAITH
We believe in the Apostolic faith. Jesus gave instruction to His apostles to go into the entire world to preach the gospel and make disciples of people. He said He would confirm the Word with signs following. We are to continue that commission.
• SPIRITUAL GIFTS
We believe that Spiritual gifts are in operation in the body of Christ for the purpose of edifying the saints.
• THE RAPTURE
Miracle Deliverance temple of Christ, Inc believe in the physical return of Jesus Christ to the earth to catch the people of God away. Then we all believe that Jesus Christ will return in the clouds to resurrect the dead in Christ first and the Christians who are still alive on the earth will be “raptured” or caught up to forever be with the Lord.”
• THE BIBLE
The Bible is the Word of God without error. Miracle Deliverance temple of Christ, Inc primarily use the King James Version of the Holy Scriptures because they believe it is the most accurate English version.
• THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM
Miracle Deliverance temple of Christ, Inc teach that the baptism with the Holy Ghost is an extension of the born again experience. It is the anointing of power from God, which allows a person to operate in the gifts of the Spirit, enabling one to witness more effectively. This anointing may come at the moment a person is born again. However, not in every case. Speaking supernaturally in unlearned tongues sometimes accompanies this experience but not in every case. Miracle Deliverance temple of Christ, Inc believes that every Christian should desire the baptism with the Holy Ghost. It comes simply by asking for it out of a sincere desire to be used of God in ministry.
• HOLY LIVING
We believe all Christians should set good examples before all people. It is important to show love, act, speak and dress as Godly men and women.
• TITHING
We believe in giving to the work of God. One should willfully, cheerfully and faithfully give of the best of his / her increase. The local church serves as the present day storehouse where needs are met through tithes and offerings.
• PRAYER AND LOVE
We believe in prayer as a daily necessity. Building a good relationship with God, with the family and with the church fellowship is essential for spiritual growth.

Heavenly Father, thank Youf for Your redeeming grace through Jesus Christ who leads us from Your prevenient grace to sanctiifying holiness, in Your son's name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
